Honestly, the Jobs Outlook Is Bleak Because the GOP Wants It That Way

America wasn’t designed to function with one grown-up party and the other a bomb- throwing one. It only works when you have people from different political backgrounds who fight hard but act in the best interest of us all.

A small group of people pushing a narrow agenda was the greatest fear of the Founding Fathers. They worried that it could sink the country and ruin the democratic experiment.

James Madison, Declaration of Independence-signee, warned against the “violence of the faction,” which could wreck the system of governance. He defined this group as “a number of citizens … united by [a] common impulse of passion or of interest [that is adverse] … to the rights of … the aggregate interests of the community.”

What Madison described sounds a lot like the Republican Party we’ve got right now.

Much like a bunch of spoiled brats, the repubs want to make a mess and blame PBO, "those people", and the "liberal" media for it.

Really good article. The repubs aren't fooling anybody, they are out to destroy PBO and to hell with what gets in their way....like the welfare of the people and the country going down in flames.

And the M$M makes it sound like what they're doing is just coincidence.
